firstly, great feel - love the progressions and arps, really nice

The overall sound is slightly 2D to me, like everything is upfront?
Also the kick to be a bit heavier and less sub on the bass but thats just my personal preference

the main thing is that the track works, good job

Cheers for the feedback dude, will look at those points when i go back to finishing this off, nice1

Any thoughts before I finish?

Cool track man liking the piano, but would definitely agree that the vocal is slightly too loud in parts, the part around 1.08 sounds too loud then around 1.20 sounds better

nice groove Richard, is the vocal a bit loud in some parts, might need a bit more compression???

I agree, I have scrapped the vocal and am re-doing it anyway as this was crap.

Also will be making the mix better as the kick is a bit damp and the bass a bit wild.

Cheers for comments, I'm well going to miss Raphies deadline though.

Tried to comment directly on the track, but made a mess. Hope you get your head around what I was trying to say.

Cheers man, good comments and yes I agree with them all. When I played the track back next day the mistakes became so obvious - always should take breaks away from a mix but I get so into it I loose perspective.

A solution would be learning to arrange quickly. I used to mix while I go, but not anymore. Structuring and mixing are completely different tasks for me nowadays. Looping a section over and over again will tire you of your own track, which would take away the inspiration and the will to finish it.

But yeah, your previous works were strange for me. Things seemed in place, but there was still some degraded quality, like when you convert from a higher bit depth. I couldn't understand why.
Now everything sounds polished.

always go back the next day with fresh ears, makes mixing so much easier

Sorry I have not been around as much as I would like lately. I am in the north of Canada working in the oil patch. takes most of my time. I still managed to Hammer this track out on a few nightshifts tho.

Dude, what the fuck is with all the alts?

Urban Ninja, Juan Paulino, Ortofon Child etc? I don't give too much for a shit other than it's gets a little confusing to see who is posting what, but you know it's grounds for an IP ban right? That means no more TA.
